I was going to post this on their forum, but they seem to be down at the moment.
$mydb = Database::instance('mydb');
$query = DB::select()->from('codes')->where('name', '=', 'PHP');
1) This doesn't appear to me using my custom database instance that I have defined in database.php. It always uses the default one. How can I tell?
I get an error that says:
mysql_connect(): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO) ~ MODPATH\database\classes\kohana\database\mysql.php [ 56 ]
2) I am a bit confused, because based on their tutorial, a execute($mydb) shouldn't be necessary... but I have seen posts suggesting that it is. Which one is it?
Config file:
<?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct access allowed.');
return array
